Howdy,

Anyone know of any online stores that sell shock mount bushings to suit optima shocks?

Regards

liquidrc.com have GPM ones that are a perfect copy. I don't remember how they were labeled though... definitely not as 'optima shock bushings'

Sorry; I found the header card in my boxes and looked it up on liquidrc. They don't have that part anymore.
In the past I often used thick fuel tubing instead

Hello Caesar, you'll want Kyosho part number ST-15 from Tower Hobbies. They are the same as the gold shock bushes. Chris.

I think these are a perfect fit, and are still available from Kyosho USA & on the bay! Kyosho part # IF137-1 (Vibration Protection Rubber)

If your kids do any arts and crafts, perler beads are about the right size too. They come in many great colors too!

I certainly ain't using them, bud...... had that particular pack for at least six years, with no need to bust it out. Happy to offload it.... :idea:

This is great news, this rubber ones are used on the Scorpion. And If you are lucky you can find LD-76 for about $15-20. So $6-7 is much more suitable :mrgreen:

would you be interested in parting with the silver ones?
